Black beer, small head, aroma is coffee, coffee filter, roast, malt. Taste is the same, sweet, bitter, creamy-ish. Not bad

Draft. A hazy dark brown beer with a lazing brown head. The aroma has notes of chocolate, coffee, and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of coffee, roasted malt, and chocolate, leading to a bitter coffee finish. The body is light.

1/11/18. Large can purchased @ BXLBeerFest 2018. Dark brown, descending big mocha non-lasting head. Nose is sour thin coffee grounds & un-eatable berries. This sour grainy coffee, like way too sour, coffee grounds, sour uneatable berries. Thin, sour, bit fizzy, not that grain, lesser can?

Can. Pours dark brown. Aroma is beany, roast, coffee, booze. Flavor is sweet, bitter, coffee, roast, malt. Finish has some acidity and chocolate and hint of booze. Overall: ok,would think it is at least 6-7% considering the booze.
